It turns out that the saying is true, what you do now is a reflection of who you will be in the future.
Devan, who saw the woman sobbing, felt unbearable, slowly approached and hugged her, rubbed her head gently, trying to provide comfort, and at the same time Anna's tears burst, all the things she had been hiding all this time escaped her eyelids. Her attitude that always seemed strong was now gone from her.
And all that's left is a woman who looks very fragile.
"Did that man hurt you?" asked Devan in a whisper.
Anna didn't answer, but instead, she buried her head deeper into the man's chest.
"Do I need to protect you?"
The girl just sobbed, not once was she heard responding to Devan.
Devan was silent and didn't ask any further. For some reason, he felt that the woman who was in his arms now seemed to be carrying a very heavy burden.
Where is her husband anyway? Why did this married woman sneak into his house alone and break down his defenses? Also, why is Anna separated from her son?
Various questions popped up in Devan's mind. Seeing his hands hugging Anna's tiny body, he took a deep breath.
Maybe today was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made in his life. Loving a woman who shouldn't be, hugging a woman who belongs to another man. Devan is aware of all that, but can he be selfish for just one day? He wanted to be by Anna's side.
"Cry, let it all out. Don't hold it in..."
'Honey.' he continued in his heart.
And after that Devan was silent again, only the sound of Anna's sobs could be heard filling the room. The man didn't ask again or move an inch.
Being in that position for several tens of minutes, Anna's tears began to subside.
"Already?" asked Devan finally speaking.
"Don't look at me," Anna sobbed back, her hand rubbing her reddened, slightly thick eyes.
At the same time, the sound of 'Kruyuk' was heard, suddenly Anna held her stomach.
Hearing that, Devan chuckled. He casually then lifted the woman's body and carried her back to the bed.
"W-what are you doing?" Anna stuttered right after he landed her body on the very soft mattress.
Anna's body stiffened, Devan kissed her briefly.
"This is your punishment if you protest," said Devan.
"YOU…"
Reflexively Anna covered her mouth with both hands.
"I told you not to protest."
The woman stared intently at Devan without even blinking, her cheeks already flushed.
"Wait for me here," said the man again then turned his body, walked, and entered another room in the room.
Seeing the man disappears from her sight, Anna grumbled. "What's he doing?"
Only a few minutes later, and Devan came out with a bathrobe that had changed into a casual suit.
"Want to have dinner together?" Devan offered to come closer and sit on the edge of the bed making Anna's heartbeat abnormally again.
"I-I, I want to go home," Anna stuttered in a very small voice, she wanted to immediately go to the address given by Naila earlier. Only, she doesn't know how because Devan's house key password has changed.
Hearing Anna's response, Devan's jaw tightened. "So? Did I forbid you?"
"I-I don't know your house key," Anna replied.
"Well, that means you stay here until you find out the key," Devan replied.
"That means you entered my house voluntarily, and if you want to go home, it has nothing to do with me," he said then stood up from his position.
"I'm not forbidding you to go home, nor will I keep you here," he added as he walked towards the exit.
"So if you want to go home, please."
"You changed the password," Anna replied in a higher voice than before.
"I have a right because this is my home."
"I want to go home but can't open it," said Anna
"Don't know the password? You can break it."
"Or knock it down?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can give me compensation," said Devan again with a faint smile on his face, the man had arrived at the door.
Anna was silent, the corners of her lips twitched in cursing, but realized that this was her fault.
"Half an hour later, you come down and have dinner," said Devan again before disappearing behind the door.
Seeing that the bedroom door was completely closed, Anna ruffled her hair carelessly, even her legs had kicked all the pillows and blankets to the floor.
"Right, you didn't stop me from going home, but you changed your house key password, huh .. what nonsense is that," Anna muttered indignantly.
"Does that mean I have to persuade him to tell me?"
"No kidding," Anna sighed harshly when she realized that seemed like the only way she could do it.
Silently in her position, Anna then got off the bed and tidied up the mattress, pillows, and blankets that were scattered about her actions. After that, she decided to leave the room without paying attention to what the man said to her earlier.
Walking on the edge of the second floor, she didn't find the man anywhere. Anna then continued her steps down the stairs, there her legs suddenly stopped when her eyes caught the figure of Devan who was busy cooking in the kitchen.
Seeing him in such a position, it would be a lie if Anna didn't feel amazed. Devan looks very handsome and charismatic, his body is tall and so stocky, his chest is wide and very sturdy, making Anna swallow her saliva without realizing it.
'If only I could…'
"Ohh No, no, what are you thinking, stupid?" Anna muttered, trying to get rid of all the perverted things that had just filled her head. She always had thoughts like that.
Clearing her throat slowly, Anna returned to normalize her expression and then started to continue her steps that had stopped, walking towards the kitchen.
Just as Anna entered the kitchen, Devan turned around and saw her, swiftly approaching at a speed that even the woman couldn't notice.
Again, Devan kissed her briefly then went back to her work as if nothing had happened.
"That's punishment for disobeying me," said Devan without turning his head.
Anna wanted to curse but remembering the man's words earlier, she finally could only stay silent while taking a shaky breath.
"Devan," Anna called right after landing her body on the bench there.
"Erm."
"You already have a fiancé. Stop treating me like this," Anna said and managed to stop Devan's hand from moving, but only for a few seconds.
"And you're already married," replied Devan.
"But…"
"You enjoy my touch, Anna," said Devan cutting the woman's sentence.
Anna choked not knowing how to respond to the man.
"Can't you just not talk about this time?" added Devan again.
